We made this for lunch today, and it was absolutely wonderful. It's a nice soup, and we'll definitely make it again! :) -
This is perhaps the worse stew I hav ever tasted. It really doesn't need to get a one star . I followed it to the "T" with the exception I used frest tomatillos .I prepared it for 8 guest and they barely touch it .As I live in Mexico you can be assured that no mexican family would ever serve this- well maybe to the roof dogs and I don't think they would eat it. Kitchenslave did you even taste it prior to submitting it ?

I am a former retail management slave who is now a stay at home mom who absolutely loves her job. I have an eight year old, a two year old and a nine month old who all bring their own kind of joy to my life. My favorite thing in the world is to cook. We have a real, from scratch family dinner almost every night. Please don't be offended if I somewhat change a recipe in my review. I look at recipes sort of as guidelines, and alter them according to inspiration. I've received alot of helpful advice from reviews, that's why I share what I've done differently. With my little ones I'm pretty busy, but I LOVE this site and plan on being even more active as they get older.
